Suthorn Ruins Miniboss - Shadow Link
We successfully found Link, but he too has turned evil after being pulled into the Still World. The key here is to distract Link and force him to look in one direction while attacking him from behind. You can either distract him yourself and let your echoes attack from behind, or you can have them distract and throw things at him from behind.
The Peahat echo is a great option as it will naturally float above and behind to attack. If you don't have the Peahat, a combination of a Spear Moblin and Rope can also work. After taking several hits, Link will transition to a second phase where he can use a spin attack. This can take out echoes more quickly but the strategy to defeat him in this phase is the same.
After you defeat Link, he will leave behind the mysterious sword. You can now press up on the d-pad to enter swordfighter form. This lets you temporarily become an echo of Link, using his sword, shield, and higher jump. Being in this form depletes an energy gauge that you can refill with blue blobs of energy that you can now find floating around.
Suthorn Ruins Boss - Seismic Talus
Enter through the boss door to find yourself in an arena with the first boss of the game: Stone Talus. This guy is made of rock so most attacks will not be effective against him. The key is to bind to the glowing purple stone and pull it away from the rest of his body. After you do, you'll have a brief window to damage the stone. You can summon an echo like a Peahat to damage it or use swordfighter form. Or both. The glowing stone can move from below him to next to his arms, and you'll have to wait for him to lower his arm or put his hands out for you to be able to reach it.
After a few cycles of this the Stone Talus will turn a darker color and enter phase 2. His attacks are a little faster now. He also will keep his purple stone in his head, so the only time you'll be able to bind to it is when he lowers his head after slamming his hands down. Make sure to bind to it quickly and start pulling directly backwards, as it's stuck in his head pretty well. Just continue to slash at it once it's loosened until the Stone Talus is defeated.
After the boss battle you'll get a full Heart Container to increase your health. You will also have freed all of Tri's friends that were stuck here, allowing them to repair the rift. Tri will also increase to Lv. 2, allowing you to summon more echoes and use swordfighter form for longer. You'll also get 5 unusual crystals.
